MLB Picks 4/22

My 3 Games I Like Today Are:

1) The Atlanta Braves vs. The Nationals

- I'm riding on the braves again today. I loved them yesterday and I love them even more today behind the pitching of Smoltz and his 0,56 era.
-The Braves are on a nice little run and it helps when your playing a minor league ball club like the Washington Nationals.
- Plain and simple the Braves are laying -201 for a reason, they lit up the Nationals pitcher Lannan last time they faced him and they are going to do it again.

2) The Boston Red Sox vs. The L.A. Angels

- The Red Sox are starting to put things together. They just had a nice 4 game sweep against the struggling Texas Rangers and they look to keep the wins coming behind ace Josh Beckett tonight.
- Weaver has stuggled against the Red Sox in his career posting a 0-2 career record against Beckett's 2-0 record against the Angles.
-I like this game alot I think the Red Sox are going to start playing like the World Series Champions, and it's always tough to play the Red Sox at Fenway. You got to go with the Red Sox laying -160.

3) The D-Backs vs. The S.F. Giants

-Just like last night I'm riding the D-Backs again,like I am with the Braves. I love when teams can pitch and the D-Backs for sure can pitch.
-They are sending 3-0 Webb to the mound to face off against 0-4 Zito.
-Yes, the D-Backs are laying -234 against the Giants but once again I feel the D-Backs have to much good pitching and when you put that against the second worse offense(1st is the dismal Padres) the outcome will usually be a win in the favor of the D-Backs.

My Bonus Pick/Risk:*) I like the Rays over the Jays in my bonus pick.

- Why not the Rays? They've been playing solid ball recently, if you forget about how they played the 1st Place Chicago White Sox. They are sending a great young pitcher Shields to the mound who has a nice 2-0 career record against the Blue Jays.
-The Florida baseball teams are playing better than anyone could have imagined, and since I took the Marlins yesterday and they won for me I'm take the Tampa Bay Rays in a close game tonight against the Toronto Jays.
